Ranma all the way. As I mentioned as Jack Bandit(yeah baby!) Sailor Moon can beat the crap out of all of the 'Martial Mayhem' fighters. Ranma put up a match for her and she only won because she cured him of his cure!(sorry Calisto =) And I think my suggestion was posted in 3rd place as Terry the Lone Wolf Bogard(yeah baby) because of my analysis of moves. Here I go again.
Ryu Ranma
--- -----
Hadouken = Nagareboshi Kyaku(Shooting Star Kick)
Hurricane Kick = Hiryu Shoten Ha(Heaven Blast of the Dragon)
Shinkuu Hadouken = Moko Takabisha(Fierce Tiger Domeering)
Dragon Punch = Kachuu Tenshin Amaguriken(Chestnuts Roasting Over An Open Fire)
----------------------------------------
And that's about all of their moves. Plus as I mentioned as Jack Bandit(yeah baby) , Ranma has been up against 7 Lucky Gods , illusions , over 16 fiancees(Genma trading Ranma for food) , and Akane's cooking! Once again , Ranma all the way.

Snake Eyes is a god 'mongst mortal men. Ryu needs a freakin' bath and Ranma is a cross dressing freak. Gives a whole new meaning to "School of anything goes". Snake Eyes is a ninja master trained by the GI Joe team. Snake Eyes will leave the arena victorious while the other two will leave the arena in a 10 gallon bucket
"Make sure you don't spill any!!"

Ranma is the man and woman for this fight. Snake-Eyes? Puh-leeze I don't know how the GI Joe fanboys pulled that one off. How in the hell is he supposed to take down either Ryu or Ranma with his Hai-Karate chop. Stormshadow in real life would have put the smack down on Snake Eyes. Its easy for a martial artist to excell in a cream puff world like GI Joe where the good guys battled evil and nary a drop of blood is spent.
As a rule of Martial Arts no occidental will honestly beat an oriental unless its a cheesy Chuck Norris or Jean-Claude Van Dammitall flick! Give me Jackie Chan or give me death!!
OK, now that brings us to Ryu vs. Ranma.
Ryu may seem all high and mighty. He may have the big ripped chest. He may have chi energy crackling all about him as he calmly walks the Earth in such of battle. I ask you however, has he seen Hell and lived to tell about.
Akuma and M.Bison are garbage heaps next to the evil that is Happosai. I demand from you, could Ryu have survived the misery that is life with Genma? Could he avoid Nabiki's ambitions? Would you find him a quivering mass of jello after surviving a day of Akane, Ukyo, Shampoo and Kodachi... I think so.
Ryu does not have the experience of walking through the HELL that is Nerima. Each day Ranma walks that path. Every week Ranma learns something new, defeats another opponent, pushes himself higher and higher.
Ranma is a master of avoidance, adaption, quick thinking, power moves, and knowledge of The Art (and Forbidden Arts that were better left unknown, Cat Fist, need I say more). Ranma has faced down enemies ranging from mortal to supernatural to gods! Ranma's entire life IS training! Genma has his boy prodigy ready to face anything the world will throw at him.
After the fight is over and Ryu is scraped off the pavement, he will thank God Almighty. He will thank the Heavens that he does not live the life of Ranma Saotome.

DANG RIGHT!!! YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST MADE HER THE REFEREE!!
Cleo: Geez, Kat!! Anyway, my prediction is that halfway through the fight, a bucket of cold water splashes on Ranma,rendering him into her. Ryu and Snake Eyes are momentarily dazed, not just because of the werid metamorphsis in that took place, but by the fact that there's now a hot young woman in front of them. You know what I'm talking about....
EECCCHIII!!! HENTAI!! Cleo, I'm warning you-
Cleo: Just expressing my opinions here!! Ranma takes advantage by kicking them in the place down under.....you know, that place!!
Good grief......
Cleo: With the other fighters down from kicks in the....um...."spot", Ranma-chan wins the match!! That is my comment. Now, if you'll excuse me-+runs away+
COME BACK HERE!! NO MORE CARNAL REMARKS, UNDERSTAND!? +chases Cleo+

Ranma's gonna be the first to go. Why? Because Snake and Ryu are not bound by the rules of animie fighting. They'll beat Ranma to death while s/he does his/er overly long, slow motion power-summoning routine.
Snake bites the dust next. He broke the first rule of Peter Anspach--he wears a face consealing visor. Fighting in a night-like atmospher, with no peripheral vision, he get beat like a four year old at K-mart.
Game. Set. Match. Ryu.

now most of the best of the best are here (i still don't belive that bloody ninja won over shiva)
okay since i hate gi joe.... snake eyes no matter if he was the coolest is gone... why? because of one thing that he lacks compared to ranma and ryu... chi attacks... come on ryu and ranma will just stand on either side of him and you'll here a simltaneous "HADOKEN" and "MOKOU TAKABIASHIA" and burn snake eyes to little bitty ashes....
now here come two world class martial artist.... now people are going to say that ryu has the most moves but in all actuallity ranma has more moves.... if you take ranma at the end of his series he had a number of moves at the end... he had his big three which were his kaschuu tenshin amiguriken, the mokou takabiashia, and the hiryuu shotenha, but he also has the moves that he alredy had in the begining of the series, and the saotome secret techniques he also learned from his father (and not the saotome secret technique, get ready set run away)the uminsen ken which will just take away ryu's big ass shinku hadoken because ranma will just use the shooting star blanket defense and shoot it right back at him adding a little of his chi with it and hurting the big guy... and overall hand to hand combat i think ranma is more skilled here... even though ryu is good in the art... almost prfect in HIS art.... ranma is just too good in MULITIPLE arts... his school takes arts from different arts and adapts them into his style... hell most of his big attacks aren't even part of his original school, he had to blend them from amazon fighting....and then there is one other point... ryu is a really strong, high tolerance of pain and really big chi attack fighter... that sounds like ranma's arch nemisis ryouga who ranma CONSTANTLY beats up everytime....
so because of the move arsenal, the adaptability and the overall that ranma goes against guys like ryu all the time ryu will just be put down like anybody that goes against ranma....
and when ranma starts to make the awards speech and goes off in saying that nobody could beat him ukyou, shampoo and kodachi will come to woo ranma and praise him, then akane being jealous (even though she won't admit it) will go over and use the big ass hammer of death on ranma and drag him back home while screaming into his ear for being a stupid macho arrogant jerk and end off with a "RANMA NO BAKA" and punt him into a low earth orbit that only akane could do.
The Archimage writes:
I pretty much discounted Snake Eyes, given that I can't remember a single episode of GI Joe and that his competition is too stiff. I voted for Ryu, but I gotta go with Ranma here, even though I've never seen the series. Going by what happened in Round 2, anyone who goes too offensive against Ranma earns a foot to the face for their efforts. Ryu will probably try to put some distance between himself and Ranma, but s/he's too quick for that. A Hurrican Kick is likely to be followed by a variant of Ranma's technique of standing on the blade, where s/he stands on his leg and kicks him. Either a Shoryuken or a Hadoken will leave him wide open, and there's no way he can match Ranma's skill without his moves. Game Over.

I can't believe Ryu could be behind. He can whup both of em, even if he was teamed up on. I mean, c'mon, the Dragon Punch alone would shatter the skulls of most contenders! Besides, I wanna read about him leaving before he is congratulated and walking off into a 16-bit scrolling forest to seek more challenges.
The Pilot writes:
What the hell is going here? Ranma is winning? Ranma is not an individual who could beat Snake Eyes, much less Ryu. He/she is an idiot who can be outsmarted by Snake Eyes and out powered by Ryu. Ryu would waste Ranma, while Snake Eyes waits until Ranma is eating dirt. Snake Eyes would then easily beat a weakened Ryu and take the gold.

RANMA!! Why, you may ask, do I vote for Ranma, when the other choices are obviously just as good? That's easy, because he's got balls and breasts, he can fight dirty as a guy or a girl and he can pretty much fly, you know those high chi jumps, etc, etc. AND he gets his practice by beating up his giant panda daddy!

And now we come to the inevitable conclusion. Our three winners from the previous battles will fight for the Coveted(?) Kazan Martial Arts Championship. All 3 of our warriors have strong senses of honor, so there will be no hiding, no two-on-ones, and most importanly, NO CHEAP SHOTS. This will be an all-out, free for all, the way it was meant to be.
Snake-Eyes is good, REAL Good, but he's just a bit outclassed here.
Ryu is good competition. Ranma will enjoy kicking his ass.
After it's all said and done, Goku comes in, gives all three fighters a senzu bean, and the four of them go at it again, just for kicks.

You got a guy who can't decide wether he's a man or a woman and another punk who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips!
Guys, Snake eyes is gonna eat your bag of chips with a little drink on the side!
Razorwitt writes:
OK, first off, Ryu...no way.
Maybe he was in a live-action movie...but has anyone ever seen VanDamme's Street Fighter AND enjoyed it? I think not!
Besides, during the 80s vs 90s video game match, Ryu was taken out by Karate Champ...who didn't even RATE this tournment! Now, that ain't right! Losing to someone who doesn't even qualify for the tournament!
Then there's Ranma...and he/she's got major issues. Face it, if you change gender everytime you get wet, and you're old man changes species in the same way, then you're gonna be a little messed up and have all kinds of identity crises and conflicts. No doubt Ranma goes each day wondering who he/she is and what he/she is doing with his/her life. Wouldn't you be under all kinds of conflict and confusion? I know I would!
So, this leaves Snake Eyes, a guy so cool a wild timber wolf submits to being his sidekick because its animal sharp senses just KNOW he's cool and needs a sidekick. A man who redefines the "strong, silent type". A man who thumps Cobra goons just to stay in shape. Think it's easy to thump Cobra goons? Try it sometime! Sheer numbers should weigh you down, but not Snake Eyes!
So, he should take this match. YO JOE!

The battle of the arts... martial arts. Well in order to understand the victory it is important to consider the contestants.
Ryu: a very good fighter and excellent martial artist with some chi attacks.
Ranma: also a very good fighter and martial artist. Ranma may not be as strong as Ryu, but he/she (which ever the case may be) is faster and more agile. Plus Ranma also has powerful chi attacks.
Snake eyes: From what I can tell Snake eyes is a normal human. He can fight well and be very quick, but doesn't have anything close to chi attacks.
All taken into consideration it comes down to Ryu and Ranma who do have chi attacks. It is a battle of strenght vs. speed and agility. My vote goes for speed and agility because even great strength can be used against itself.
Nuff Said Ranma is da ma...wo...uhh...ya.
Sicod writes:
Snake Eyes is Good, but the other two are "GRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTT" Ranma never loses twice to the same opponent. Ryu trains to take out anybody. Ryu will win this because this is the first encounter between him and Ranma, and Ranma is always shakey on those first encounters. Ryu just beats the piss out of you on those first encounters...'Nuff said
Whatever writes:
Hmm, tough one. I'm pretty sure that the foul sorcerer Saotome will win but I gotta vote for the Joe.
Here's why. Ranma NEVER wins the first fight against an opponent. Chances are, he'll face off with Ryu, who'll send him on an all expense paid trip to the Smack Down Hotel since this is their first meeting.
Meanwhile, Snake Eyes stays in the shadows and opens up a can of whoop-a** on Ryu, who is tired-out from fighting the pig-tailed girl.
For those of you who doubt Snake Eyes' abilities, he's on par with Storm Shadow, a Cobra ninja. Now the reason this is impressive is that in one particular episode I remember, Storm Shadow dismantled a tank in seconds with his bare hands as a demonstration to a bunch of Cobra resruits. Which means that Snake Eyes isn't to be taken lightly since he's beaten the Cobra ninja who sent whole battalions of Joe vehicles to the scrap yard.
Besides, Snake Eyes is used to dealing with whole armies and while any super powered martial artist worth their salt can beat the living daylights out of a bunch of extras, how many can say that those extras have lasers and bazookas and androids who just don't stay down?

This is a plea for everyone to vote against video game boy. What does throwing fire balls have to do with martial arts anyway? I will freely admit it makes a more interesting video game, but if Ryu wins because of it, it will be a travesty.
Peter Eng writes:
Okay, what we have here is: Snake-Eyes, the "realistic" ninja; Ranma Saotome, of the Saotome school of Anything Goes Martial Arts; and finally, Ryu, trained in Shotokan Karate by a legendary master.
Snake-Eyes is out of it quickly if he tries to mix it up directly. A hadoken or Dragon's Heaven Blast will send him into orbit. Optimal strategy: Hide in shadows, let Ryu and Ranma throw down on each other, then backstab the survivor.
Ranma has a nice edge in the instant sex-change ability, but it probably won't throw either of his opponents off balance. So that leaves him with everything he knows, which includes some extreme cinematic effects that are equal or superior to a level 3 Super attack.
Ryu has a slight experience advantage, which might allow him to beat Ranma.
Personally, I see it as a toss-up between Ryu and Ranma...but I favor Ryu for no real reason at all.
Neodymium writes:
Here's how it goes down. Snake-eyes, realizing that he has the disadvantage due to Ryu's incredible powers and Ranma's...well.. anime style of fighting, let's himself be "taken out" fairly early. He then watches from the ground while the other two fight it out in grand style for a while. When Ranma and Ryu really start to get into the battle, Snake-eyes casually shoots them both in the head. Battle Over. Sure, it may not be the most honorable thing to do, but Snake-Eyes is a ninja and knows what he must do to win. {Alternate battle: Snake-Eyes, with his infinite wisdom, realizes that this contest is pointless and will prove nothing. Knowing he could easily take the others when outside of the arena, Snake-Eyes throws the match and lets Ranma defeat him.(Come on, you know Ryu couldn't beat a Dude-that-can-be-turned-into-a-chick-and-still-wail-on-justaboutanybody!) Most likely Snake-Eyes would then go after the people in charge of the whole thing and kill them}

Ranma and Ryu will size each other up, say a few words, and go at it, with fists, feet, and chi flying like a Superman on acid. Truly a sight to behold, a battle for the ages.
In the midst of this, however, Snake Eyes will toss a small amount of C-4 roughly in the middle, from his small haven in the rafters.
Hey, no one said the fight would be _fair_....
Hysteria writes:
Well, first off, kudos to y'all for putting out such a great matchup! I gotta tell ya, picking a winner is not going to be easy. All three of these guys are martial artists, and their places as the top three are well-deserved.
So who wins? I see that Ranma is coming in first place, followed by Snake-Eyes and Ryu. Much as I love Ranma 1/2, and as good as he is with all martial arts, there is something Snake Eyes and Ryu have which he doesn't. That is the fact that Snake Eyes and Ryu are used to fights where the fighters don't always walk away unscathed. Snake Eyes has been tortured, shot, stabbed, and hit numerous times, and Ryu at the end of the Street Fighter 2 movie was looking pretty ragged. Not to mention his "losing portrait" in Street Fighter 3, is brutal. Ranma, on the other hand, doesn't seem to get hurt all that often, outside of Akane's mallets, and even then, it's "looney tunes" violence, and not "serious" violence with lasting consequences. since Ranma is outnumbered 2 to 1 by the "serious" violence, I suspect he'll be playing by those rules, which is why he'll be the first to fall.
Now we have Ryu vs. Snake Eyes. Ryu is good, make no mistake about that. Darn good. Snake Eyes, however, even after you strip away the childhood nostalgia, is better. He was an army brat, a student of ninjitsu, and a member of a highly-trained counter terrorist force, aka G.I. Joe. As such, he has had more actual combat experience than Ryu. Yes, I know, Street Fighting continuously will hone your combat skills, but still, as it was artufully put by Larry Hama, being in Vietnam was "a doctorate for someone who wanted to major in combat." It was nasty over there, and if you combine that with his ninjitsu training, you have one of the nastiest SOB's out there, who knows how and where to strike when his enemy least expects it, and also has a few weapons to call on if things get out of hand. Snake Eyes is the winner out of this bunch of VERY worthy competitors.
The A.R. Guy writes:
Oh come on, Snake Eyes has this in the bag. First off, he's a GI Joe, which means he's part of the biggest legacy of fighting in the known Megaverse, plus he has access to a virtually bottomless supply of stuff. If all else fails, he can just lob a grenade or two.
Secondly, He's older than that bizzar Identity-crisis-waiting-to-happen kid, so he's got the experiance behind him. Also, I think EVERYONE's tired of Street Fighter.

POW! BANG! BOOM! BAFF! OOF! DOINK!
*Insert sound of Ranma hitting the ground hard and trying to collect what remains of his/her teeth...then passing out*
"Snake Eyes and Ryu share a glance and nod. Now that the weakest is removed, they may concetrate on their battle. Snake Eyes, a Ninja skilled in what is considered one of the best Martial Arts in the world. Ryu, wandering warrior who seeks the next level of challenge. He found that challenge in Snake Eyes. All is quiet in the arena as the two stare at each other. No one dares to speak, few even want to breath for fear of breaking the concentration of the two. After several tense moments, they leap forward and the fight's begun!"
Sounds great doesn't it? Yeah...Ryu has all those power moves and managed to take down some of the biggest baddies in the world. Same can be said of Snake Eyes. It WOULD make a terrific fight that both would remember for the rest of their days.
*WARNING WARNING...ANGER LEVELS IN DANGER ZONE*
Too bad none of us get to see this because Ranma is ahead in the votes!!! HOW CAN THIS BE?!? Ranma gets his but kicked by a giant Panda. Ryu takes down Bison, Snake Eyes takes on Cobra.
Ranma gets confused if he should bring the wonderbra with, or just wear it all day. Snake Eyes and Ryu KNOW they have big brass ones and don't worry about it. They just want to kick ass!
This is truely a DARK day for the martial arts world. The ONLY way I can see Ranma beating these two is this scenario:
Ryu and Snake Eyes go out to the bar the night before the match. Both of them drink a fifth of Vodka, two bottles of Rum and about 40 beers. Both head to the bathroom to drain the bladder which has pushed all their inner organs up to their throats. While in the bathroom, they find a bag of wacky tobaccy. A couple hundred hits later, they get a serious case of the munchies, go to a restaurant and eat some bad sushi. This makes them so sick they find themselves BACK in the bathroom. Both slip on the wet floor and crack their heads, giving both severe concussions and some bad cuts that bleed all over the floor. Once they manage to stand up, they both down some Tequilla and head for the arena. Once in the ring, the fight begins with Ranma trying to punch and kick, but Ryu and Snake Eyes dodge them all while staggering around (think Drunken Kung Fu). After fifteen minutes of this, Ryu decides he HATES Snake Eyes' mask and Snake Eyes thinks that blood stained gi of Ryu's is pretty ugly too. They both whallop each other with a big punch and they are OUT. Ranma wins. (phew)

Ranma and Ryu.I've let the party people at the message board advise my choice and this is my humble conclusion-Ranma punks Ryu like Muhammed Ali Bombaye!It's all true.Ranma outclasses Ryu,since those Manga-peeps are a whole power-level above even video-game stars.Ryu's only chance is for his Marvel crossover power-levels to be made canon.Otherwise his ass is truly kicked.

Oh god.. Ranma all the Way...
Ryu may have a fireball, and snake eyes may have the Retro Vote, but ranma. Ok here it goes:
Ranma is the master of the Anything goes martial arts, and s/he'd prolly kick the snot out of Snake eyes ( just us the Katsutehshin-namakuriken) and when s/he turns to Ryu (cuz you know its gunna be a double team ) Ryu will try his Cheap ole' arcade attacks ( jump, med kick, crouching round house ) and that may wear RAnma down some, but ranma also has the Rising punch, and don't forget... Happosai! i wouldn't be surprised if he jumped in the ring too! Ryu could win it, if he did that lame super that no one uses the Charge Electric Fireball (sounds like a Dance,don't it?) and that could take out some people. If Ryu was the Ryu from SFIII then this would be a hands down Ranma. If it was the Ryu from Marvel vs Capcom , then Ryu as a BIG chance ( shin Ryu , need I say more?) Lets just hope that That Indian Gi joe doesn't show... he was boring...

Snake Eyes takes why because
Training: SNAKE EYES is trained in multiple forms of martial arts and by the United states armed forces, he also has more expeirence then his oppenets.
RANMA is trained in an anything goes enviroment and there for has not gained a complete understanding of martial arts in which cheap shots are not aloud.Also this happazard training has been for two people male and female whos abilities and training styles are going to be different and not as much time can be taken on each one.
RYU is a scraper street fighter trained on the streets and there for has similiar hapazard anything goes training.
Conclusion(training): As far as training goes Snake Eyes has it in the bag as he does for expeirience, he's been fighting Cobra before the other two were glimmers in there creators Eyes.
Equipment: SNAKE EYES has a sword grenades(smoke I think) and any thing the U.S army could issue
RANMA & RYU uh ummm anything they can find pick up, metal pipes sticks swords(maybe)
Conclusion(equipment): Not a hard one
Conclusion(total)Snake Eyes is the best trained and equipet he also has the most experience.

Anyone who can put up with the curse he's got (the one about the water and the transformation) has to be good. Not only that, but Ranma has pulled through in situations involving...
- Loss of powers
- Naked women (quite a bit, actually...)
- Akanae (category all its own...)
- A thief as a father
- A VERY strange phobia to cats
- Around, oh, 4 fiances (or was it 3?)
- Being surrounded by idiots
- Being surrounded by people trying to kill him
- Being surrouded by (here's a classic) idiots trying to kill him
- And of course, fighting all sorts of mythical beasts
Ranma, hands down. Besides, G.I. Joe sucks quite royally.

Before the fight, Ranma showers but doesn't dry thoroughly. In between the tranformation he stammers as he tries to get passed the security guards. "I'm Ranma! I'm Ranma!" The guards escort Ranma to the elderly section of the arena.
Ryu is stranded in his dressing room, desperately trying to remember which joystick/button combo he needs to open the door. He (like anyone who has played StreetFighter) curses the game's creator.
Snake Eyes makes his way out to the ring, greeted with boos from two thirds of the audience, and a smattering of applause from the few people who like the "newer, tinier GI Joe collection".
He's about to claim the Championship belt when there is a sudden crash from above the ring. Shards of glass splatter over the canvas, and sliding down the repel rope comes 1970's GI Joe---complete with the Kung Fu Grip. His towering twelve inch torso overshadows the overconfident ninja.
The last thing Snake Eyes sees before he is squashed is one BIG, BLACK combat boot (Made of durable plastic by Mattel. Repelling Kit sold separately). **The FINAL word**
